FEELING BLUE FOR YOU - Cripple Club & Hans Albers by Mountain Songs published on 2022-06-04T20:59:55Z (Written by Terry Reeves) Terry Reeves: Vocals Hans Albers: All instruments/Arrangement & Production New video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Z7NUmzq-TCY For me, getting older has certainly had some advantages, one of them being the ability to take on life's pressures without continually worrying about what is coming along next. Being seen as the “Wise Old Man" in the family (you know, the one in the comfy chair closest to the TV in the living room), my sons, daughter, nieces and nephews will often plonk themselves down on the seat next to me and disclose their personal problems. Much though I’d like to pretend otherwise, I rarely have any useful advice to volunteer, the reality being that I offer little more than a sympathetic ear. That they trust me enough to take me into their confidence is nonetheless most flattering, the reason most likely being that I’m neither judgemental nor threatening and most importantly can be trusted to keep what I’m told entirely to myself. This song was written after one of these tête-à-tête’s, one in which there was absolutely nothing I could do to change the situation and could only empathise, say that they need never feel they were on their own and affirm I’d always be there for them whenever the need arose. All the same, I did find myself wishing I could have been of greater help. I truly did feel blue for them. Life can be a sod of a thing sometimes. When that happens, what else is there to do but write a song about it? (Terry Reeves) A glass on the table, half full a distance away Feeling thirsty and dry so unreachable today Closer tomorrow but might drain to half empty Distance unchanged my thirst remains plenty Feeling so blue for you Really blue for you I’ve stood in the forest heard whispers of lies Every leaf falling past, covers a layer of spies Try hiding from truth, planet can never disguise Face stays in the shadows screaming silent cries Feeling blue for you Really blue for you Look out of the window reflections inside my head Reversing a vision giving sight to those who bled The slaughter of life has reduced the time earned Loving life not chewing death the option unfurled Feeling blue for you Really blue for you I will answer questions if you ask with a smile I may travel a distance over one million miles Moving is never a picture puzzles of reasons Hoping to find missing piece to help mental lesions Feeling blue for you Really blue for you Genre Jazz & Blues Comment by arterial flow Missing you guys; I hardly visit here anymore...just not the same without you 2023-07-12T06:05:42Z Comment by I D Very dark and emotional.

Natural side effects are the former! Nice song🙏🎶🌓 2022-09-04T20:35:47Z Comment by Dave Orestes 1 I know EXACTLY what you are saying/singing/feeling. I'm dealing with some issues now with my kids that really hurt to see but hard or impossible to change in the short term and that is a hard difficult situation. your lyrics capture that helpless sense very well. thanks 2022-09-04T11:33:24Z Comment by INFINITE UNIVERSES so authentic sound!! great work! 2022-09-04T09:12:17Z Comment by holgermorgenstern Big 🌟💙🌟 Congrats , Feeling Young again in some Nostalgia 😎 2022-09-01T10:53:48Z Comment by Brxwwn "Loving life, not choosing death" Digging this, nice work!! 2022-08-25T16:43:45Z
